Pick up women in bars in August

Killer is Dead, the latest game from Suda51 has given a release date: 27 August 2013.  So it wont be too  much longer until you can start ogling at  and picking up the range of virtual women.

In fact, the launch copies will come with some bonuses aimed at driving early sales.  The launch bonuses include a soundtrack CD, an 80-page hardcover art book, and a “Smooth Operator” DLC pack with: 

  • Gigolo Glasses
  • Alternate costume for Vivienne and Mika
  • A bonus Gigolo Mission with Betty
  • An additional episode with the vampiric Sebastian

For those who aren’t aware, the premise of the game is:

KILLER IS DEAD is set in a contemporary world where bio-mechanical augmentation is increasingly common. Players control Mondo Zappa, a professional ‘Executioner’ who wields a sword in his right hand while brandishing interchangeable weapons in his left artificial arm. Mondo encounters all manner of violent adversaries in his global trek to fulfil contracts for ridding the world of its most nefarious criminals. 

There is a gigolo mode in the game that has garnered some controversy, wherein the player chats up women in bars, uses x-ray specs to look at their undies and tries to get them home for a one-night-stand.  Yup, sounds like a horrible game.  Somehow, I wonder why this gets so much flak when I distinctly remember playing the Playboy game and spending all my time trying to get Carmen Electra to sleep with random photographers so that my pictures would be better.  But, what do I know?

        Well, you better go ask them. We can’t have a women walking around these parts with an opinion of her own that might be contradictory to what some other women are thinking. Oh, the shame.

      White Knight cavalry to the rescue! So this is kinda like a romance/harem visual novel wedged into a game. Whatevs. Someone tell Suda to make a female character in similar circumstances and we’ll be cool. No White-Knighting necessary.

          Well, if the game is good outside of the romantic minigames, I don’t think it would be too bad. Playing a capable, sexually-confident woman would be refreshing. Bayonetta + sexy romance time? “Do you want to touch me?”

    I often wonder if the reason Suda is famous is because games are just generally whacky and different. Honestly, it pains me to say, most of his games has really bad gameplay lol

      Should the game be ignored as some find it offensive?

      We also have two token females… which makes us 40% female.. so transgendered really?

            She has her own opinion, why should you assume she was manipulated into filling some intangible quota to appease the man-beasts who browse these articles. That’s how your comment comes across anyway.

      “It’s cool I played this game where I played a girl that convinced men to sleep with her, so a game where guys creep on women and treats them like objects are cool. LOLZ”

      The entire basis of your annoyance is just one big false dichotomy. You’re assuming that because the Playboy game lets you sleep with guys for a reward, and creeping on women and using x-ray specs and basically treating them as objects are someone the same thing. I assume in the Playboy game there was no resistance or challenge and both parties were least willing, and while I’m sure the game wasn’t exactly pro-equality it was at least not “Hehe women are there to ensure that I can get my jollies.”

      Zoe, I’m sure you’re a nice person, but your writing is pretty poor. This post is 90% press release material and a really bad paragraph of your own opinion, that really doesn’t tell me anything. It’s like you write your stuff in a few minutes and then are done, are there even sub-editors or any sort of editing done on posts here? You write like you want to support a feminist argument but can’t risk the fall out from the BroDudes on the site. But what do I know I’m just a femenazi white knight?

      DO YOU PEOPLE EVEN KNOW WHAT WHITE KNIGHTING IS????

        “White Knight” (also known as “Internet White Knight”) is a pejorative term used to describe men who defend women on the Internet with the assumption that they are looking for a romantic reward in return.

        Funny how you only comment on this article, which is mainly about a release date being set, and not the article where I actually discuss the feminist issues. Obviously, you can’t be bothered to read past the headlines. As a post-feminist, it’s exhausting to see women raising the feminist flag without being aware of the consequences in perception (making young women see feminism as the “F word”, a concept raised by Naomi Wolf). I’m not a token female, I’m a gamer with opinions. If you’re offended by the fact I have a vagina to go with those opinion, I suppose you’re the sexist.

          WELL SAID! I also find it hysterical she sits there, with KITTY (HELLO?) in her name, and an avatar that is the a-typical Japanese male gamers version of the perfect female. (talking about DiscordianKitty here of course). Get very irritated with people who attack others in a blind diz because they are to lazy to do their own research. SHOOT FROM HIP! SHOOT FROM HIP!

      Yes don’t you people know that anti feminist behaviour in games leads to making creeps in real life, the killing and dismembering is ok because its just a game but trying to pick up woman to have sex with you is not, because people will try to do this in real life in bars and stuff.
